Developed in partnership with MindGym, the Inclusion as a Skill training aims to drive behaviour change through a science-based approach, equipping participants with practical tools to create an inclusive culture where everyone feels supported and encouraged to grow and reach their creative potential.
"Inclusion is a universal strength we’re all able to harness. No matter the level of leadership, or where someone is based, everyone can develop inclusion as a skill. This program is an important step in our journey toward a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where all feel they belong and are able to thrive.” – LJ Louis, Chief Talent and Inclusion Officer, WPP
Following the launch in September 2023, the programme format has been refreshed to make it more digestible and engaging. The virtual, 90-minute session – with multiple sessions available in different languages across different time zones – is designed to establish a foundation for inclusive habits to become everyday occurrences. It will be used as a consistent framework for how people managers engage their teams using a globally relevant and easily applicable approach across WPP.
Registrations are now open with sessions scheduled from May-November 2024. If you work at WPP you can find out more and sign up here.
